As I have been working through my secret life theme this month the movie “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” popped into my mind a number of times. This movie came out in 2005. It stars Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie or John and Jane Smith. Basically they presented as a dull married couple but they both have a secret; they are both leading double lives.

It seems that secret/double lives are a great book and movie topic particularly with super heros and spy/assassin types. The Bourne Series pops into my mind as well as Superman, Batman, Spiderman… Even cartoons make use of this theme.
